General Safety

•
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
grounded electrical outlets.
•
Verify that the electrical outlets and power strips used by the server have reliable earthing.
•
Verify that the server is plugged into an electrical outlet with appropriate circuit overloading
protection.
The following are general safety guidelines:
•
Keep the area around the server clean and free of clutter.
•
The server weighs approximately 27 lbs when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two
people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.
Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
•
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from
the system or on a table so that you will not step on them.
•
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned
shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling
fan.
•
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body. They are excellent metal conductors
that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit
boards or areas where power is present.
•
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack
unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
•
If you replace the motherboard battery, ensure that you install it properly. This battery must
be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which
will reverse its polarities
•
To ensure proper cooling when the server is operating, take care to ensure that all chassis
covers are in place, that all drive bays either have a drive or a blank installed, and that the
room ambient temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.
